Let Go of the People Who No Longer Want You Written By: Mark Smith

Have you ever had someone that you loved very deeply ruthlessly walk out of your life and inform you that you have been fired as their friend, lover or spouse? It really hurts like hell doesn’t it? I have been struggling with such an issue for the past year. I received the following message from a wonderful friend of mine and it stuck me deeply in the heart. I hope that is helps you as much at it helped me. It is by an author named T. D. Jakes.

There are people who can walk away from you. And hear me when I tell you this! When people can walk away from you: let them walk. I don't want you to try to talk another person into staying with you, loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming to see you, staying attached to you. I mean hang up the phone.

When people can walk away from you let them walk. Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left.

People leave you because they are not joined to you. And if they are not joined to you, you can't make them stay.

Let them go.

And it doesn't mean that they are a bad person it just means that their part in the story is over. And you've got to know when people's part in your story is over so that you don't keep trying to raise the dead. You've got to know when it's dead.

You've got to know when it's over. Let me tell you something. I've got the gift of good-bye. It's the tenth spiritual gift, I believe in good-bye... It's not that I'm hateful, it's that I'm faithful, and I know whatever God means for me to have He'll give it to me. And if it takes too much sweat I don't need it. Stop begging people to stay.

Let them go!!

Isn’t that powerful. Will I now let go of the person who has walked out of my life. Honestly, not completely. But Jake’s words have encouraged me to move in that direction and for that I am thankful. Have a good week. Let it go!
